Check out this article and tell me what you think.
Maybe that's how there going to get back their glory days back...

plain and simple....bunch of damn idiots at Nebraska.....it shows they KNOW Nebraska won't be undefeated next season. Why play a double A school??? Auburn did this year and it might have cost them the NC game.

Interesting story. As opposed to a Division I team, Nebraska opts to open up their season with another Division I-AA team. I'm not entirely surprised by that fact, but more so by the fact that they would go so far as to verbally agree to this nationally televised game and play a minor-league team.

Now, I'm not saying Nebraska sucks or anything, but boy does Nebraska ever suck.

I'll leave now before somebody says something about my pathetic-ass Buffaloes.

What the hell is so big of a deal with not accepting a game with Houston,but accepting to play Maine in a season opener in order to schedule a home and home series with Wake Forrest.It's not like we backed out of a game with USC,OU,Miami or FSU. Playing Houston is the same as playing a division 1-AA team or Colorado for that matter.So all you Husker misfit haters,don't try to make a big deal out us not playing some piss ant ass team like Houston.That whimpering ass AD at Houston is just pissed because his sorry ass Cougar team won't be able to cash in on the big payday that he'd get by having NU come in to play in suck ass Houston. Hell,let Colorado take it's 1-AA division Buffalos down there to play them.

It was pretty classless by Steve Pederson, but then again Pederson has never been the classiest guy. I can see why the Houston AD would be pretty pissed but taking the Nebraska team down there to open the season on the road vs. Houston could risk starting the season with win. If Nebraska loses the firts game of the season against Houston (sad as it is that our program has fallen so far so fast) then that might bring some question marks to the table concerning Callahan and his crew. True, it was a shitty move but I'm glad it was done.

If I do recall correctly, my I-AA Buffaloes beat Nebraska this year.

Three of the past four years, in fact.

Because Nebraska has always used the excuse that they must play lesser 1-A OOC programs because upper level 1-A programs "wouldn't play us." With this move, they just threw that excuse in a hole. They are admiting to their team, their fans and their recruits that they can't compete with even the lower level 1-A teams.

Because 1-AA games don't count towards being bowl eligible. Because backing out at the last minute is a poor, disrespecful thing to do, especially for a so-called elite program. Because losing to a 1-AA team can be extremely damaging to a 1-A program. I can't give you specific examples, but Kansas St. and Ole Miss both lost to 1-AA programs within the last two years. I can't imagine that would go over well with recruits.

Dude,if you consider Houston a collegiate D-1 football power,then what fuckin planet have you been living on because I sure as hell don't ever remember them being in the top 25-50 teams in any rankings. What the hell is the difference between playing Houston or Wake Forest in a home and home series because every dam schedule that has ever been or will ever be formulated is about rankings and money.

jtg,dude you should write Solich a personal thank you letter because he's the only reason why you've won three out of the four meetings with NU,evidence of that fact is the countless ass kickings NU gave you before Solich took over the program,thus all you did was beat a team that was doomed for failure under the guidance of a complete fuckin moron who possessed no coaching nor recruiting skills.So you should send that thank you Frank Solich letter of by "Air Mail" special delivery.

focal22 · December 21st, 2004, 11:16 PM

i would think voters would tend to look down on a team a bit for playing a AA school.....computers different story cause some of the AA schools are ranked higher than A schools.

Doomed to failure... I like the sound of that.

I will take beating a team "doomed to failure" any day of the week, especially if that team is Nebraska. I don't care how badly Colorado sucks, I don't care how badly Nebraska sucks. As long as Colorado has more points on the scoreboard at the end of the day than Nebraska does, our record otherwise doesn't matter all that much.

In the past decade, here are the scores of the CU-Nebraska matchups:

1995: Nebraska 44, CU 21
1996: Nebraska 17, CU 12
1997: Nebraska 27, CU 24
1998: Nebraska 16, CU 14
1999: Nebraska 33, CU 30 (OT)
2000: Nebraska 34, CU 32
2001: CU 62, Nebraska 36
2002: CU 28, Nebraska 13
2003: Nebraska 31, CU 22
2004: CU 26, Nebraska 20

The last time Nebraska beat CU by a convincing margin was in 1995 (I don't count 2003 because CU was in that game until they gave up a touchdown late in the game). Other than 1995 and 2003, CU has been within five points of Nebraska in those other five defeats. CU also should have won the games in 1998, 1999 (the refs called a field goal attempt no good with 1 second left in regulation when the kick was actually good), and in 2000 (had CU not chosen to squib kick with about 45 seconds left, Nebraska would have been pinned fairly deep in their own territory with little time left and a long way to go).

Sorry, I'm a bit of a historian. Fact is, Frank Solich or not, CU has played Nebraska very tough and close in nine straight games, and if a few bounces had gone the way of the Buffaloes, Nebraska likely wouldn't have a 7-3 record in their past ten games versus Colorado.

Raider, I never said Houston was a power. Read the post. I said a 1-AA win does not count towards the necessary six for a bowl appearance.

Kansas St. was penalized in the 90's for playing 1-AA teams by the voters in the polls.

The only reason for a 1-A team to play a 1-AA team is the 1-A team wants a "live" type of practice or scrimmage. There is no other purpose to it. And backing out of a deal shows disrespect and a lack of class.

Raider Assassin · December 22nd, 2004, 07:07 PM

Yo jtg,it's best that you savor those few little victories the Buffaloettes have gotten over the past few years because by 2006,we'll be beating your brains out as in the past and let me remind you that the only thing that matters is wins,not how close of a game you played someone,because if I'm in a fight and I barely got my ass kicked,I still got an ass kicking regardless of how good of a fight I put up.Since you profess to be such an historian,look up the the overall record of NU vs Colorado,it's probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-10 NU,get back to me on that Mr. Historian.

Honestly, do you ever read what you actually say. You're a dumbass. Your posts make no sense whatsoever. So please just SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Raider Assassin · December 22nd, 2004, 08:03 PM

My apologies KP for misinterpating your post. I don't know exactly why 1-A teams play 1-AA teams but alot of them do and my point still remains that in order for one to back out of a deal,there first had to be a deal and through a little research I've learned that there never was a signed contract by either party,but rather preliminary discussions where by certain detailed stipulations had to be met on the part of Houston and when they weren't within the specified time limit,NU had every right to make another deal with whomever. What NU did is no different that what a business corporation who is involved in preliminary discussions relating to a merger with one of two other corporations and unless there exists signed documentation,the merging corporation has the option and right to select which ever transaction is in their best interest and with the corporation that first meets the guidelines that were set forth in the preliminary discussions and that's the bottomline.Thus,if you know anything about business or business law,then you should be able to understand what I'm saying.So all the negitivity directed at NU is without merit,fact and/or understanding of what the preliminary discussions entailed and is merely based on dislike for the NU program,past success of the program and any little negitive thing that involves NU,all the haters jump on it like flies on shit.

As for you little wimp-ass fightingIrish ass bleeding fag,you're to fuckin illiterate to understand anything regardless of what form it may be,so it's doesn't surprise me that your punk ass can't comprehend anything other than how to get pumped in the ass like a little leprechaun bitch that you are.Thus,in order to shut your crossdressing faggot ass up,aside from the penis you got hanging out your ass,I'll shove another one down your homsexual throat and gag your bitch ass.Bet that will "Shut You The Fuck Up",as you won't be able to utter a word while you're swollowing sperm,which you're probably already accustomed to,bitch ass rectal turd.
